Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"Professor Gong, are first-year students not allowed to bring computers to school?" Zhou Min brought up the computer issue when she saw that the others were not speaking.

"Computer science major, not bringing a computer? Ha." Teacher Gong scoffed coldly and continued typing.

"I didn't know you were from the Computer Science Department. How can a computer science student not bring a computer? A soldier can't do without a gun," Director Wang quickly explained.

"Teacher Wan doesn't know either?" Teacher Gong asked without looking up.

"I... I have too many students, I forgot."

"Don't you do any research before you deal with the problem?" Teacher Gong raised her head and quietly looked at the three teachers opposite her.

Jiang Fei sat next to Zhou Min. Seeing how helpful Teacher Gong was, she couldn't help but tug at Zhou Min's sleeve. When Zhou Min looked over, she pointed to the computer host at one end of the conference table.

Zhou Min glanced at it and nodded slightly to Jiang Fei.

"Teacher Zhou, why didn't you explain back then?" The stern-faced teacher scolded Teacher Zhou as soon as he saw that Director Wang's expression was not good.

Teacher Zhou pursed her lips and said, "I was also notified suddenly to go there. I didn't even know what happened. I only heard you criticizing the game. Besides, this is a matter for our Boya Academy, right? You've been quite responsible running around with us."

Teacher Zhou didn't speak up before out of respect for Director Wang. He couldn't be bothered to talk to this teacher who was his peer.

"As a teacher at the school..."

"Okay, Ms. Liu, please tell me the whole story."

"Mao Yating's final exam results were not ideal this time, so her parents came to the school to find out what was going on. After learning that her parents often played games all night in their dormitory and did not return home at night, they wanted to change Mao Yating's dormitory."

After finding out, the classmate falsely accused Mao Yating of cheating on the exam. "Teacher Liu, the one with the stern face, pointed at Jiang Fei as he spoke."

"Who stayed up all night playing games?" Teacher Gong asked, glancing at Zhou Min.

"I didn't," Zhou Min quickly waved her hand, and Jiang Fei also quickly echoed that she didn't.

Who stays out all night?

"I only went back to stay during exam week and weekends because Mao Yating's gaming noise was too loud and disturbed my rest," Zhou Min explained helplessly again.

"It's not like I'm playing games alone..." Mao Yating pouted and argued. This gesture might seem cute in everyday life.

But no one looked at her at all. In fact, Zhou Min, Jiang Fei and the others thought Mao Yating was so pretentious that it was disgusting.

"Has the proctor arrived yet?" Teacher Gong interrupted Mao Yating directly and asked calmly.

"Hello, Professor Gong." The two graduate students from the School of Foreign Languages ​​who came with him also stood up quickly to greet him.

"Explain the situation."

......

Zhou Min listened as the senior student explained what she had said before again.

"Teacher, the main unit." Zhou Min took the opportunity to point to the main unit.

Teacher Gong nodded slightly, and Zhou Min quickly ran over, took the computer host, and connected it to the multimedia cable on the conference table.

However, things didn't go as Zhou Min expected. After connecting to the internet, she pressed the power button several times, but there was no response.

Zhou Min bent down again to check the power supply. There was power, no problem.

Seeing that Zhou Min couldn't turn on the phone, Jiang Fei came over to help.

"What's wrong? Can't you turn it on? Is there any power?"

"There's power." Zhou Min moved slightly aside so that Jiang Fei could see the glowing socket on the ground.

"Could the cable be broken?" Jiang Fei was very anxious. On the way here, her mentor, Chen, had told her that the school dealt with the matter of falsely accusing a classmate very severely.

Besides, she was almost certain she'd miss her train, and now all she wanted was to prove she'd done nothing wrong. If she could go back an hour or so, she'd rather she hadn't said those words at all.

"It shouldn't be." Zhou Min tugged at the label on the line, which detailed that it had been checked just this Monday.

Zhou Min looked up at Mao Yating's family and Director Wang and the others, only to see that they were not nervous at all, and their attitude was even so perfunctory that they were indifferent.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Min immediately started disassembling the computer.

She felt that these people must have something to rely on, otherwise how could they be so calm when they saw her using a computer?

Didn't you see that Professor Zhou has been paying attention to this area ever since he moved his computer here?

Only those who are certain that this computer is meaningless will be completely uninterested in this.

She didn't believe any of that nonsense about the computer just breaking down! Where in the world are there so many perfectly coincidental events?

"Hey, Zhou Min, this is school property, you can't damage it." The dark-faced teacher shouted at her as soon as Zhou Min started to move.

"I'll just open the outer box and take a look; there shouldn't be any problems."

The stern-faced teacher wanted to say something more, but Director Wang stopped him, so he reluctantly shut his mouth.

After Zhou Min opened the computer case, her face instantly darkened. There was no hard drive inside, and there was even residual moisture on the motherboard.

When Zhao saw that Zhou Min didn't speak, he also came over. After looking inside the computer case, his expression darkened.

"What do we do now?" Although Jiang Fei didn't know much about the internal structure of a computer host, she could see that there was water inside the case.

"What's wrong?" Teacher Gong heard the commotion and looked over.

“The hard drive in the main unit is gone, and there’s water on the motherboard, so it’s probably broken too,” Zhou Min replied unwillingly.

She carried it all the way here, and it was quite heavy. She thought it would be useful, but the other party physically destroyed it, leaving them no chance to repair it.

"How did water get in? Were you careless on your way here?" Mao Yating's mother asked anxiously.

Zhou Min looked up at her anxious expression and felt it was very pretentious. Where had she been before? No one had thought of bringing a computer before coming here, and now it was her fault.

"Zhou Min, what's wrong with your computer case?" The dark-faced male teacher also came to question Zhou Min.

Zhou Min regretted that she had been too careful in the Foreign Languages ​​Institute office; she should have opened it then.

"You'll have to ask the senior students to know. There are surveillance cameras all the way here. If you have any doubts, you can check the footage," Zhou Min said coldly to the two senior students.

“We don’t know either. After receiving Teacher Wan’s call, we went to the monitoring room in the teaching building to check the video. The monitoring teacher told us that the monitor was broken, so we moved the computer case over. We don’t know the specifics.”

Zhou Min felt a fire burning in her heart. Just as she was about to continue questioning, she heard Teacher Gong ask calmly, "Which classroom is the exam room?"

Classroom 302, Building 4.

As soon as the girl finished answering, Teacher Gong started typing away on the keyboard.

Zhou Min suspected he was still working on his previous experiments and couldn't help but go over to remind him, "Teacher!"

"Hmm?" Teacher Gong glanced at Zhou Min, and seeing that Zhou Min didn't continue speaking, she turned back to typing on the keyboard without saying a word.

Looking at Mao Yating's smug expression, Zhou Min felt an unprecedented dislike for her. Before, she only thought she was a bit spoiled and had a princess complex, but she never expected her to be such a selfish person.

Just like in her previous life, Feng Pinling always remained aloof, acting as if it were none of her business.

Jiang Fei's eyes were completely red. Although Zhou Min and Jiang Fei weren't particularly close, they saw each other all the time, especially when Feng Pinling was trying to win over Mao Yating and ostracize her. Only Jiang Fei treated her with a normal attitude.

Although it wouldn't affect her personally, Zhou Min couldn't bear to see such a simple and hardworking girl being mistreated.

"Hand me the projector cable." Just as Zhou Min was lost in thought, Teacher Gong's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhou Min quickly snapped out of her daze, pulled the projector cable over, and handed it to Teacher Gong. Teacher Gong silently connected the projector cable to his laptop.

When the image from the laptop was projected onto the screen, chaos erupted on set.

What time is the exam?

"From 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. today," the graduate student said in a hoarse voice, her tone no longer as calm and composed as before.

Teacher Gong immediately fast-forwarded the timeline to 9 a.m. today and sped up the video to four times the speed.

Looking at the ashen faces of Mao Yating and her family of three, Zhou Min felt extremely pleased.

Jiang Fei then demonstrated on the spot what it means to burst into laughter through tears.

Seeing Jiang Fei laughing while wiping away tears, Zhou Min could only secretly pray that the video contained some substantial content.

After watching for a while, Teacher Gong lost patience and directly zoomed in on the video to the area where the exam papers had been confiscated. Then she started watching from there again.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Mao Yating could be seen looking around, kicking the chairs in front of her, turning around to look at the exam papers in the back row, and making other small movements.

Teacher Gong simply slowed down the video and played it again.

"Any further questions?" Teacher Gong's tone remained completely flat.

"Haha, it has to be Teacher Gong." Director Wang responded first with a smile, and then gave Teacher Wan some instructions.

"Teacher Wan, the situation is now clear. I have a meeting later, so I'll be leaving now. You can handle this according to the school's regulations when you get back."

"Well then, Teacher Gong, I'll head back now." Director Wang said goodbye to Teacher Gong before leaving.

"Wait a moment, Ms. Wan, have you found out who conducted the interview?" Ms. Gong asked after turning down the volume on the video.
